Turn it up: Songs that make you say “HELL YEAH!”

Imagine you’re driving, at a club/bar, hanging out with friends or pretending to study/work when all of a sudden…that song starts. That song that makes you smile and yell “HELL YEAH!” You either immediately start belting out the lyrics, or tell everyone to shut the hell up so your ears can soak up the sweetness.

There are definitely songs that make me smile as soon as I hear them. Not just because they’re great songs or because they immediately bring fond memories to mind, but because they have amazing beats, instrumentals or vocals in the intro, whether hard or soft, that force me to stop whatever else I’m doing for a moment so I can indulge in the music.

Here’s a list with YouTube hyperlinks so you can hear the songs. I tried limiting the list to songs that have epic intros. None of the songs are in any particular order, but they’re all awesome. Some songs are classics. Some, not so much. And I’m well aware many of the bands and artists on here have several songs worthy of the list.

If you think I’m missing some gems, let me know! I hope you have fun looking through these jammy jams. This took me several days to compile but it was fun, since I almost forgot how awesome some of these songs are.

– Come Together – The Beatles (1969) …How can you pick just one of their songs? I know. I picked this one because the intro sounds and feels like an electric current shooting through your body. Well, I think it does haha!

– I Want You Back – N*SYNC (1998) …Same situation going on here as with the BSBs, so I picked an earlier one. But let’s be honest, every BSB and N*SYNC song deserves to be in here. I don’t care who you are. You STILL know all the words to all their songs. 😉
